CURRENT PROJECTS
Update: July 25, 2010 Photos Courtesy: Ed Raye
We
now have 11 display cabinets made by local cabinet maker Buzz Bush.
Museum volunteers have been taking care of the finishing work. A
few of the cabinets are pictured below.

We have replaced all the ceiling tile and installed new lighting on the main floor of the yard office. Ceiling fans have been added in the south end of the yard office. Those tackling this project were: Bill Mundt, Shirley Mundt, Chris Mundt, Bill Nickerson, Ed Raye, Dana Smith, Dale Jarchow, and others.

Work is progressing on the HO scale layout of Don Schoentag, now on display in the south end of the yard office. The layout is now operational after the move from the Schoentag home. There is still scenery that needs to be done. The pictures show the incredible detail Don put into the scenery. The layout was donated to the museum by Don's wife Bonnie following his passing.
 
Work
is underway on the second floor north end of the yard office, in order
to provide a space to display a new collection. George Whalen is a
museum member, and he is donating his entire railroad collection to the
museum. Workers included Roger Hummell, Bernie Saathoff, Lew Westcott, George Whalen, and others.George is a third generation CGW employee and was the last foreman at the Oelwein shops when the CNW closed it down.
